    Royal definitely carries YES. I wanted to pick one up last year, but ended up getting a 2011 Ride Antic which fit my budget. Two years ago I switched up the bindings to Forum Aurora Reversealous...... which are decent.

    Hard to believe I started riding in 1996

    Burton Air, Craig Kelly complete with the same bindings pictured and hard boots.

    Totally off topic, how's your '12 TDI??
    So far it is loving the snow ... I will need to pick up some summer tires for those Carlsson's at some point. Probably after the new year unless some killer deal comes up before then. We can work something out over PM though.

    **Back on Topic**

    I'm sure most of the skiers know what my setup is but for the rest.

    Here's the planks.


    Bindings.


    And boots(the warmest pair I've owned so far).

    for the most part, yes, but it also depends on ability and what type of riding you want to use the board for.

    Also I have a pair of 181 Armada AR7s from 2 years ago for sale, bases are in good shape and all the edges are good as well! Asking $200 with look 14 din bindings!

    Best ski I have ever ridden holds on groomers and floats real well. Stiff under foot but still soft enough in the tip and tail to be playful. You will not be disappointed.

    I like the shorter boards for better control and easier spins in the parks. But they are definitely weight dependant too. Apparently i'm a fatty seeing as I snapped the tail of my K2 board when I had a whole day of powder at Kimberly.

    Lean back like a gangster they said......

    MEC.. even Wal-Mart. For park gloves, get a pair of "Classy's" from most truck stops for about $15-$20

    yeah and weight to an extent. i believe a good way to measure is if the board is between your chin and your nose, like how you would measure a hockey stick. but it does all come down to personal preference. i like a shorter board because it allows for better controll. Longer boards typically are better for powder riding.
    Yeah I think this is generally what they get you to do. I could be way off but depending on your weight you may want to be either on the upper end or lower end of that "benchmark". Though tall enough for the 157, being under weight I had a harder time controlling it and it really slowed down learning to turn for me.
